In a way that's true depending on what you're getting.
There's brewers yeast, primary grown brewers yeast, debittered brewers yeast and nutritional yeast which is entirely different and much better but sometimes called brewers yeast.
The nutritional yeast actually tastes good. It's GREAT sprinkled on popcorn.
"Nutritional Yeast Nutritional Yeast is an inactive yeast and dietary food supplement with a distinct, pleasant aroma and delicious cheesy taste. It is different from baking yeast and has no fermenting power. Six teaspoons (about 10 gm) provide: 6 mg each of vit. B1, vit. B2 and vit. B6; 5 mcg vit. B12; 35 mg niacin; 5 gm protein (50% by weight); 4 gm carbohydrates; and 30 calories. Contains no fat. Store in a cool dry place or refrigerate. Will keep indefinitely if stored properly. Available in flakes or powder at natural food stores "

Brewer's Yeast<<<<
Brewer's yeast, which is often called nutritional yeast, was originally a by-product of the brewing of beer. While still used for brewing, it is also now grown as a plant product for its nutritional value. Nutritional yeast is not exactly the same as brewer's yeast. Brewer's yeast was originally used as a nutritional supplement, then other yeasts were made available for this purpose. Brewer's yeast differs from live baker's yeast in that its live yeast cells have been destroyed, leaving the nutrients behind. Live yeast cells can actually deplete the body of B vitamins and other nutrients.
Nutritional yeast contains high levels of many important nutrients, including all of the B vitamins (except for B12), 16 out of 20 amino acids, and 14 different minerals. The amino acids (proteins) in yeast help the body repair tissue and fight disease. Brewer's yeast has a very high protein content, with one tbsp. providing 4.6 g, making it a rich source of protein for vegetarians. It is also high in phosphorus.
